This artwork is about Covid-19 and me. Because of this Covid-19 pandemic, our life had changed. Everyone is suffering due to the impact of this pandemic. We had to take good care of ourselves to not get infected by the Covid-19. Therefore, we have many sops we need to follow like wear masks, social distancing, sanitizing our hands, etc, to reduce the risk of getting infected. So I try to draw the moments when I am doing all these sops in my artwork . I was inspired by Roy Lichtenstein so I try to apply Pop art styles and use Ben-Day dots techniques in my artworks. Besides, I separate the artwork into different panels to make it like a comic to make my artwork more interesting to see. In each panel, I am following different sops and I use complementary colors to suggest them. To make it more outstanding and attractive, I apply some paper sculptures to the words and characters so it may be more 3D and not so flat.
